NW Bass Lake Washington Tourney Results

This past Saturday was a great day to be on the water, especially if your names were Rob Eckstrom and Joel Grafe.  Rob and Joel teamed up to take first place in the this years NW Bass Lake Washington Chanllenge Circuit Qualifier.  Rob and Joel weighed in a total bag of 20.44 pounds to edge out second place finishers Sean Minderman and Eric Smith who weighed in with a 19.60 pound bag.   Sean and Eric also took home honors for the big fish of the day at 5.96 pounds.

Boats, anglers, and fans all around the pavilion at Coulon Park for the official weigh-ins.

A total of 79 teams fished the Lake Wa. Qualifier this year with 313 fish weighed and 311 fish released.  I was really impressed with the care that many of the anglers took to take the fish back to the area of the lake that they were caught.  The total payout for the tourney was $17,590.04.
